This is probably why the creators of memcached and redis chose C.

by fleitz 11y ago
Agreed. Redis is much faster out of the box with minimal tuning than this solution.

Call me when they get rid of UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED until then it's practically useless. Whoever thought it was ever acceptable to leave your production stack in state that requires deleting it is an idiot. Even if they fixed it I doub

lol, I actually know a few guys making decent coin leeching vanadium out of toxic waste (tailing ponds) from old strip mines.

Because people would rather complain than do something about their situation.

Yup, there's a lot of people driving beamers who complain about how their parents forced them into law, medicine, or engineering.

Did people stop hiring plumbers? It's difficult in North America to become a millionaire, but it's pretty trivial to escape poverty. What I often find is people would rather be poor than sell their skills to the highest bidder, eg

Often NPEs are not considered trolls, such as universities.

Interviews are like blind dates, you need to be in the social circle to have an idea of what you're getting into before you go to the interview.

The funny thing is I once asked for so much that they fired two other people. Smart people make more money, then save it and then use the fact that they have 6 months expenses saved to leverage getting even more money.

Even though I very much agree with lavabit I think it's more honest to construe it as the owner decided to shutter the business rather than comply with the spirit of the order.

They had a fucking revolution over EVADING taxes by buying tea from places other than England. They weren't avoiding taxes, they were putting guns in peoples faces covering them in tar and then feathers, throwing all the taxed tea in t

Yeah the founders of the us were just regular old folk, none of them did international business.

I did a startup in SF a few years ago, totally fucking broke, and never ate healthier in my life thanks to cheap produce from the mission groceries that catered to latinos. Maybe not everyone can buy bulk but you can buy expired goods, grad

Oh fuck this shit, I was poor and I saved by buying rice in bulk and toilet paper in bulk, and everything as cheap as possible. Seriously, you have to be really fucked up to not be able to put away $25 for rice. If you're poor and not

How does not being forced make a statement not disrespectful? Not having children is a perfectly valid lifestyle choice, a childless person saying that raising children contributes less to society than they do says a lot about how they fund
319.
by fleitz 11y ago
There are certainly people doing a poor job of raising children that are creating net losses, there are also others doing great jobs. The other thing is, the single people are the very product of this subsidy, so I'm not sure how it cr

This article really annoys me, I don't really care if people have kids or not, however, all these people doing so much for society came from people who chose to do less for society and instead raise the people doing so much for society

That thought experiment is an entirely different case, and yes Apple regularly provides iCloud backups to law enforcement. Apple does not own the phone, nor does it posses the data. In the case where apple owns the server and a customer&#x2

Roughly the same amount of land is required by everyone, if the only source of revenue is land then everyone pays the same amount of tax regardless of income. Given that employees/retail customers would no longer have to pay income tax

Even as a lowly developer I paid $60K in total taxes, it would easily pay for the extra truck maintenance from desert driving.

Tax avoidance would actually be pretty easy, buy a house in places with low land value.

Not really, reference counting is generally considered to be more performant than GC. GC can end up thrashing the cache and doesn't work very well when using more than 8 to 16 GB of RAM. Even the linux kernel uses reference counting as

Swift gets most of its performance gains by not doing GC and better struct support. I have a distaste for Java but it's performance problems stem mostly from the way people write it and how hard it discourages writing in a performant s

I prefer it to loops, I find it more concise, it makes you really think about what your code is doing when you make it recursive. Often I find subtle bugs in my loops where as with recursion the compiler seems to pick them up for me.

Most of the time I don't vote. When I do I vote libertarian, I've never seen an ad for the libertarian party in my country. When I buy ads (donate) I buy ads I buy for the Green Party in areas where they are splitting the left win

i would suggest voters vote based on something other than ads... However if people wish to vote based on ads that's their prerogative. They could vote based on something else but they are usually so concerned about a democrat/repu

Exactly Google would be happy to ship the jobs overseas if they needed 'substantial' operations to take advantage of the tax code. Since workers pay most of the tax it's a double FU to the jurisdiction with high taxes
